Carpincho

Fodor's Review:

This shop specializes in the stippled leather of the carpincho (cabybara -- the world's largest rodent, native to Argentina), which has super-soft skin. The real draw, though, are the gloves, which come in both carpincho and kidskin and in many colors, from classic chocolate brown to tangerine and lime.
